Peinture de la Fresque de saint Georges terrassant le dragon par Louis Steinheil

In this chapel dedicated to Monseigneur Georges Darboy, bishop of Paris executed in 1871, this fresco represents the saint slaying a dragon that was about to devour a princess. It is an allegory of the deliverance of the oppressed Church and the victory of Christian faith.
